DESCRIPTION:
The Raptor Rescue System is designed to lower or raise a fallen worker to a safe area so medical treatment can be administered. After a fall has occurred, lower the Engagement arm Lock into position and release the cable lowering to the fallen worker. Once the cable has been properly attaches you may begin to lower or raise the worker. One man can work the winch simply because of its 5 to 1 gear reduction.

DO I NEED A RESCUE SYSTEM/PLAN?
Yes, OSHA 1926.502(20) states that "The employer shall proved for 'prompt' rescue of employees in the event of a fall or shall assure that employees are able to rescue themselves."

WHAT IS A PROMPT RESCUE?
OSHA points to research indicating that suspension in a fall arrest device can result in unconsciousness followed by death in less than 30 minutes. An Air Force study shows that volunteers suspended in harnesses experienced adverse health effects in as little as 12 to 15 minutes. Some safety experts say damage can be done in as little as 5 or 6 minutes.
